What to Write in an Anniversary Card

"Love and marriage, love and marriage…" That's how the song goes, right? Well, only 365 days after the big day, it's time to send that happy couple an anniversary card! And it doesn't just happen once. Oh, no, my friends. When it comes to sending anniversary cards to celebrate those five, ten, twenty, or can-you-believe-it fifty years of wedded bliss, there are so many chances to do it up right. Take a moment to remember those very special twosomes in your life, whether they're your amazing parents (awww… could they be any cuter?), your BFF and her sweet hubby (Best. Wedding. Ever!), or your BFF's parents (they're so sweet, despite that time they found out you two threw a party at their house when they were out of town). And while the just-right card is an awesome way to let those amazing couples know you really care about them—and BTW, also remembered a very important date in their life!—the wish, message, and sentiment you write in their anniversary card greetings can really make their yearly day o'love way better. Here are a few suggestions on what to write in an anniversary card to the happy couple (you can thank us later). But wait…is it YOUR anniversary we're talking about? Keep reading. We're going to hook you up with just the right words to make your one-and-only swoon, too. And swooning is good.
